Mic ro p o we r Dua l
10-Bit DAC in MSOP
U
DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LTC®1661 integrates two accurate, serially addres-
sable, 10-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in a
single tiny MS8 package. Each buffered DAC draws just
60µA total supply current, yet is capable of supplying DC
output currents in excess of 5mA and reliably driving
capacitive loads up to 1000pF. Sleep mode further re-
duces total supply current to a negligible 1µA.
■
Tiny: Two 10-Bit DACs in an 8-Lead MSOP—
Half the Board Space of an SO-8
Micropower: 60µA per DAC
■
Sleep Mode: 1µA for Extended Battery Life
Rail-to-Rail Voltage Outputs Drive 1000pF
Wide 2.7V to 5.5V Supply Range
Double Buffered for Independent or Simultaneous

Linear Technology’s proprietary, inherently monotonic
voltage interpolation architecture provides excellent lin-
earity while allowing for an exceptionally small external
form factor. The double-buffered input logic provides
simultaneous updatecapabilityandcanbeusedtowriteto
either DAC without interrupting Sleep mode.

Differential Nonlinearity: ≤±0.75LSB Max
Ultralow supply current, power-saving Sleep mode and
extremely compact size make the LTC1661 ideal for
battery-powered applications, while its straightforward
usability, high performance and wide supply range make
it an excellent choice as a general purpose converter.
